What happens during the disease - echinococcosis, other and unspecified
Echinococcosis is an infection caused by the larval stage of various species of tapeworms in the genus echinococcus. the larval stage of the tapeworm is known as the hydatid cyst and can be found in the organs, tissues, and fluid of the infected individual. the infection is spread through contact with the feces of infected animals, typically dogs, and can cause cysts to form in the liver, lungs, and other organs. the cysts can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the organ affected, including abdominal pain, fever, and coughing. if left untreated, the cysts can grow and cause organ damage, leading to potentially life-threatening complications. treatment typically involves surgery to remove the cysts, as well as medications to eliminate the infection.
